Hello Bunmi, That option is required when you install NFS on the management server, it’s clearly mentioned on the doc that - "using the management server as the nfs server". If you have separate node for NFS you can simply go -
1- create two directories that you will use for primary and secondary storage. For example # mkdir -p /export/primary # mkdir -p /export/secondary 2- To configure the new directories as NFS exports, edit /etc/exports. Export the NFS share(s) with rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check. For example: # vi /etc/exports Insert the following line. /export *(rw,async,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) 3- Export the /export directory. exportfs -a 4- Restart your NFS server and do a test mount from your hypvervisor or from any other node # mount -t nfs <Server_IP>:/<Shared Mount Point> /<Local mount Point> Vivek Kumar Sr. Manager - Cloud & DevOps TechOps | Indiqus Technologies vivek.ku...@indiqus.com <mailto:vivek.ku...@indiqus.com> www.indiqus.com <https://www.indiqus.com/> > On 11-Jul-2022, at 7:22 PM, Bunmi Adeleye <badel...@syscodescomms.com> wrote: > > Dear Team, > > I’m new to cloudstack and trying to implement a POC.
